Chapter 6 Charity Event (2) Give Me Back My Card!
Xu Zixi was stunned on the spot.
Because of her guilty conscience, plus she had never thought that An Nuan, who had always been gentle, would say something like that.
An Nuan didn't give Xu Zixi any face. She glanced at them and looked at their arms which were holding each other. "Ms. Xu, do you think that you're more suitable to accompany my fiance?"
Gu Yansheng came to his senses and quickly pushed Xu Zixi's hand away.
At that moment, Xu Zixi didn't know what to do. She could only smile and say, "Ms. An rarely attended such parties, so I accompanied Mr. Gu to entertain guests. I am sorry for making Ms. An misunderstand."
"Are you saying that I'm not generous enough?" An Nuan raised her brows.
At the moment when Xu Zixi wanted to defend herself.
An Nuan said bluntly, "Anyway, what I'm worried about is that in the five minutes since I entered the banquet hall, you had been holding my fiance's arm. I thought that you were declaring your sovereignty."
Xu Zixi's face turned pale because of An Nuan's words. Because of the disparity in status, she didn't dare to refute loudly, so she kept apologising. "No, Ms. An. It's my fault. I will pay attention to it next time."
An Nuan chuckled.
She didn't mean to forgive her.
Xia Qiqi was dumbfounded. Was this still the same An Nuan she knew?
She was so domineering!
Xia Qiqi had once reminded An Nuan that Xu Zixi was a b*tch. Since she was so close to Gu Yansheng every day, it was clear that she had bad intentions.
However, An Nuan said that she trusted Gu Yansheng. Xia Qiqi thought that Gu Yansheng was indeed very good, so she didn't say much.
However, she couldn't stand Xu Zixi after all. With her beauty and the fact that she graduated from a famous university, she became the special assistant of the general manager of Yan Group at such a young age. She acted like a villain and looked down upon others. She even mocked the socialites like them in public and secretly. She probably meant that they relied on their good fortune and that they were good for nothing.
Now that An Nuan had taught her a lesson in public, she felt happy!
"An Nuan." Gu Yansheng suddenly opened his mouth and took her hand.
An Nuan rejected it in her heart, but in the end, she endured it.
"I didn't expect you to come here today. I'm happy." He never mentioned anything about her teaching Xu Zixi a lesson just now.
He didn't put in a good word for Xu Zixi, nor did he explain the reason he let her keep on holding his arm.
Gu Yansheng had always been good at avoiding problems.
An Nuan was smart and didn't say much. After teaching Xu Zixi a lesson, she had already humiliated Gu Yansheng. Being too eager to get things done was not conducive to what she was going to do next.
"Let's go. I'll bring you to see my parents. They want to see you." Gu Yansheng smiled slightly. He was always so gentle.
An Nuan nodded and whispered to Xia Qiqi. Then she walked into the banquet hall with Gu Yansheng in her arms.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman would always attract a lot of attention.
"An Nuan is indeed the most beautiful woman in Beywen Country. I thought it was just a rumour."
"She rarely shows up in public. It's also the first time I've seen her. I thought she was not beautiful enough and was afraid of being criticised. It turns out that I've misunderstood her."
"In the past, I always thought that An Nuan was not good enough for Gu Yansheng. Now, from the looks of it, An Nuan seems to be even superior."
......
Those voices of discussion also reached An Nuan and Gu Yansheng's ears.
Back then, because An Nuan didn't attend many of these activities and Gu Yansheng was very good at showing off himself, everyone in Qincen City felt that she was not good enough for Gu Yansheng.
Hearing these words, Gu Yansheng was naturally upset.
He always liked to put himself in the highest position. He couldn't bear to let anyone talk bad about him, couldn't let anyone better than him, not even An Nuan.
However, he was used to disguising himself, and no one could tell.
The two of them walked up to Gu Yansheng's parents and took the initiative to greet them.
An Nuan used to think that the Gu family was sincere to her and took good care of her. Later, she learned that they just wanted to win her trust and steal her family property.
She disguised her emotions and socialised with the Gu family.
Many people were walking around the banquet hall. As one of the four major families, they were trying to please and chat with the Gu family members. Slowly, An Nuan walked away without a trace. Gu Yansheng did not even notice her leaving the moment she did so.
In the past, she always thought that it was reasonable for him to ignore her because he always forgot to eat and sleep for work.
She had always been finding excuses for him...
An Nuan turned around and walked towards the back garden.
Sure enough, she didn't like places that were too lively. As soon as she arrived at the back garden, she felt much more relaxed, but at that moment...
"Ms. An." The sudden voice frightened her.
She turned her head and saw a man walk out of the darkness.
He was wearing a cold-grey suit, a white shirt, and a silver-grey tie. His style and colour were casual, and with his deep facial features, even a glimpse of him was enough to amaze everyone.
An Nuan subtly shifted her gaze away and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm waiting for Ms. An here." The corners of Ye Jinghuai's mouth curled up.
Why was he waiting for her?
Moreover, how did he know that she was going to the back garden?
"What can I do for you?" An Nuan asked him without batting an eyelid.
"Give me back my card!" Ye Jinghuai said bluntly.
An Nuan's expression changed slightly.
Sure enough, she couldn't hold much hope for this guy.
She said, "Aren't you always generous to women?"
"So, Ms. An is reminding me that you're already my woman?" Ye Jinghuai smiled evilly.
At that moment, his handsome face approached with a threatening aura, which made people feel oppressed and dangerous.
An Nuan avoided him.
Ye Jinghuai laughed sheepishly.
"What a man," An Nuan said grumpily. "The card is at home. I'll give it back to you next time!"
After that, she turned around and was ready to leave.
After her reborn, her purpose was clear. She did not intend to give herself too much time to relax, so she also needed to learn how to engage in social activities.
At that moment, she saw Gu Yansheng coming out of the banquet hall.
He seemed to have discovered that she was not by his side, so he came out to look for her.
When he saw her, his expression was clearly not good. He probably felt that when he was busying, she should stay by his side quietly.
However, in the next second, he could instantly turn into a gentle and elegant person. He said in a soft tone, "Why did you come out alone? I was worried about you for quite some time when I couldn't see you."
"I just come out to get some fresh air. I'm going back now," An Nuan said with a faint smile.
"Next time, let me accompany you." Gu Yansheng held her in his arms intimately.
An Nuan felt a little uncomfortable, especially when she saw Ye Jinghuai's gaze.
She couldn't tell what kind of look he had. In short... she had a sense of guilt.
Obviously...
They were also nothing more than a partnership.
Gu Yansheng also noticed Ye Jinghuai's gaze. He was still gentle and polite. He even took the initiative to reach out his hand and greet him. "Ye Jinghuai, you're also here? I haven't seen you in a long time."
Ye Jinghuai glanced at Gu Yansheng and did not reach out his hand.
He walked past them arrogantly and said, "Gu Yansheng, your fiancee is as beautiful as a flower. You have to keep an eye on her."
